6.1 Avoiding bad odours
• Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required
can bring forth the problem of odour.
Pay attention to following to avoid this
problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean the
refrigerator with bi-carbonate dissolved
in water every few months. Never use
detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have passed
best before dates and spoiled in the
refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals
in your refrigerator in unsealed contai-
ners as they damage the plastic surfaces
of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or sme-
ared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and
rinse the relevant part of the surface at
once with warm water.
